And amazed! It seems all of you want this as much as I do. It's awesome that we all feel the same way about this wonderful world of blogging! The camaraderie we have developed between all of us speaks for itself.

And there are so many more Sisters to meet!

What fun we shall all have! Parties and giveaways, tours and workshops, sharing creations and ideas - all of this is in store for all of us. From home decor to crafting, our days will be full of fun in the months ahead. I've received some AWESOME ideas for our new Sisterhood from all of you and I am really looking forward to bringing it all to fruition.

Let's begin. To join you must ~

1.) Become a follower ~

Now you know how I feel about this, I only want you to follow me if you desire to but, it's been explained to me that this makes hosting future Sorority events much easier. And easier is good!

2.) Spread the word!

Please post about this. Let the whole world know about our Sorority and let's share our excitement for this wonderful world of blogging. The more the merrier!

3.) Leave me a comment on this post.

Please! In your comment - leave me an Email address and your blog name.You may send it to me in an Email if you wish.I will automatically add you to our Sorority Sister list.

4.) Grab our button ~ (located on my sidebar)

Each of us will post this button on our sidebar to show we are Sorority Sisters in the newly founded (ahem . . . drumroll please!)

"Bloggerette Sorority"

6/28/10

Rush is over - we had a marvelous time!

But there will be another one in

either 6 months or 1 year.

You can still join!

Just the follow the directions above!

WELCOME!

** The rest of this post is the original.Now everyone knows to be initiated into a Sorority - you must "Rush"

Your rushing preparation will take place between now and

June 25th.

Then on that Friday ~

we will announce our Sisterhood!

To rush you must do the following:

Take this picture . . .

and create something with it.

A banner, a hanging, an ATC,

a piece of jewelry, a tag, a card . . . anything!

Print the picture and place it in a frame -

it doesn't have to be fancy!

Just use your imagination. The possibilities are endless.

You have inspiration all around you.

After all . . . that's what our blogs do - they inspire us.

This can be as simple or as elaborate as you like.

Then take a picture of your creation.

There are no rules.

Well - except one.

You must be in the picture too.

You can always take a self-portrait in a mirror.

Because we all want to see who are

"Sisters" are!

Then post your picture the day of our

Sorority party.

Friday - June 25, 2010

I have commissioned . . . the one ~ the only Karen Valentine of Valentine Designto create this beautiful button for all of us. Thank you Karen! You are awesome!

Well, let's see. I've been married for 31 years... Holy cow! We have two sons 23 and 26. We also have two Shih-Tzus, Jorja (pronounced like the state) is 5 and Harley is 4.
I love decorating, scrapbooking, crafting, playing with mixed media art, thrift shopping, antiquing . . . and I am a self-proclaimed DISH-A-HOLIC!
We have a motorhome aka "the Coach" and love to travel and see this glorious country we live in. My husband has a Harley and yup - we ride!
My dream is to live where there are seasons - FOUR seasons, or maybe just a cabin somewhere that we can escape to. (BIG sigh) OK Colorado to be specific!!! But for now, our Coach takes us there and we really do love it.
